Shamshad Begum, Bashir Ahmad Wani, Zeeza Mehboob Qazi

This study was carried out to evaluate the length and prevalence and type of elongation of the styloid process by using panoramic radiographs. A total of 650 OPG (384 males and 266 females) were included in the study. The mean length of right and left side of styloid process in males was 25.9±8.16 and 25.3±5.86 respectively and in females the right and left sided length was 21.78±7.90 and 21.11±6.40 respectively. The results were statistically significant in between gender (both left and right side) but not significant in between sides within each gender. The prevalence of eagle syndrome is 17.2% in the study population.most common type of elongation was TYPE I followed by Type II and Type III. OPG is most commonly used radiographic technique for detection of an elongated styloid process.
